Neon Trees' big hit track, though, "Animal," has been around through the summer and is quietly creeping up the charts, helped along by a prominent base of fans who each seem to think they're the only ones who've heard of them.

When I first heard the track, I thought it sounded like a few Killers fans got together to bring back their favorite band's old sound--and adding in a little OK Go along the way. Yeah, based off the track "Animal," you could say the band sounds a bit derivative.

But that's not the worst part: One of my big indie pop pet peeves is when a lead vocalist puts on an accent. So when I heard a kiddie lisp that sounded like "awfaid" in two lines, I recoiled. I say if English is your first language--and you're not from a linguistically unique area--lose the accent.
